Abstract Unsymmetrical 1, 2-bis (diorganylsilyl) ethanes were synthesized by two procedures. Hydrosilylation of chloro (vinyl) silanes were used to obtain compounds of the general formula ClMe 2 SiCH 2 CH 2 SiRMeCl with different substituents (R= Et, Vin, Ph) on the silicon atom. Chlorodealkylation of 1, 2-bis (trialkylsilyl) ethanes gave compounds of the general formula ClAlk 2 SiCH 2 CH 2 SiAlk 2 Cl (Alk= Me, Et, Pr). It is established that the ...
